Greetings!
Midnight Season 1 dungeon testing continues on Wednesday, January 14 at 3:00 p.m. PST (6:00 p.m. EDT / 12:00 a.m. CEST) and runs until Monday, January 19 at 10:00 a.m. PST (1:00 p.m. EDT / 7:00 p.m. CEST). Please note that this schedule may be adjusted if we encounter any technical issues during testing.
During the test period you’ll be able to acquire and customize Mythic Keystones by talking to the Keystone Vendor in Stormwind, Orgrimmar and Silvermoon. The nearby Dungeon Teleports NPC will assist you with transportation. Throughout beta, all Midnight dungeons will be available for testing on Normal and Heroic difficulty. Seasonal dungeons will rotate with each new test period.
For this round, the following seasonal dungeons will be open for testing on Heroic, Mythic and Mythic+ difficulty:
Magisters’ Terrace
Maisara Caverns
Nexus-Point Xenas
Windrunner Spire
Algeth’ar Academy
Seat of the Triumvirate
Pit of Saron
Skyreach
Provided that the items equipped on your character are at least item level 226, they will scale automatically to a higher level as needed to support Dungeon testing.
Affix Update
New Affix: Lindormi’s Guidance (Active from keystone level 2 through 5)
